The adoption of devices for the internet of things will depend very much on their communication to the Internet being secure. There are many aspects to being able to secure connections between client ...

SSL and TLS are similar technologies because they share a codebase, though one is better than the other. In fact, one is dead and the other still reigns supreme to the time this day. By end of this ...

A project that aims to increase the use of encryption by giving away free SSL/TLS certificates has issued its first one, marking the start of its beta program. The project, called Let’s Encrypt, is ...

Thanks to Google and Facebook, awareness of Transport Layer Security (TLS), formerly known a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology, is now fairly high. In fact, adoption of TLS/SSL is so ...

This vendor-written tech primer has been edited by Network World to eliminate product promotion, but readers should note it will likely favor the submitter’s approach. SSL/TLS encryption is widely ...

SSL/TLS encryption once again is being haunted by an outdated and weak feature long past its prime: a newly discovered attack exploits a weakness in the older, less secure RC4 encryption algorithm ...

Anyone operating a server on any scale should want a digital certificate to encrypt data between clients and services, whether for personal, office, or public use. That’s a broad statement, but it ...

Secure sockets layer (SSL) is an industry-standard method for secure communications on the internet. SSL -- along with its successor, transport layer security (TLS) -- is the commonly accepted ...

As enterprises get better about encrypting network traffic to protect data from potential attacks or exposure, online attackers are also stepping up their Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security ...
